Make sure your neutral switch is working correctly and have you tried resetting the ecu? Once you have done a base reset, then take the car for a spirited run and get it to relearn all its base settings again. You may notice an improvement in fuel economy at the same time.

silly question but how do i clean the afm? its not the pod rite? sori man, i duno much bout mechs

AFM is that black box that the pod usually screws too. it has an electrical plug coming off it.

unscrew your pod filter, and disconnect the AFM from plug. then unscrew the hose clamp clamping the AFM to the flexible intake pipe.

pull out the AFM. Now spray it with CO Contact Cleaner bought from dick smith. try and clean out the inside as well with a rag as best u can. but i dont think u should go touching the elements too much (i very carefully just like dabbed mine with a cloth to get a bit of the oil off the white strip one, but upto you). best just to spray quite a bit with co contact then leave to sit in the sun to dry it up.

now just put it back together.

....this may be whats causing stall....but i'd put my money on ur non stock BOV

      No engine fan = quieter getrag ???

      By Butters · Posted

      Saw this video today from Adam LZ.    Long story short is he is claiming that the load from the engine fan once the fan clutch heats up(engaged) is increasing the getrag rattle(at idle) when you don't have a dual mass flywheel.  Before I go buying an electric fan setup .... Anyone heard of this ?    I must admit when my car is cold the getrag is pretty quiet and I do notice the rattle after it is all warmed up. I've always assumed this is due to the gearbox oil temp and tolerances of metal.

      Yep it sure does.   Tone wheel lines up in the same spot perfectly.

      Something I meant to say when we were chatting the other night about having an open trailer floor being great to work on a car, but you've never used the feature... It's a great place to park a car after doing suspension component changes, and do the tightening of all the bushes with the car sitting at full ride height. Especially when you don't have a 4 post hoist!

      That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.

      So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
